Since the beginning of time, we have been trying to find ways to cleanse and beautify ourselves. The cosmetics industry is one of the biggest in the world with corporations trying to find new ways to produce 'the next big thing'. Today though, consumers are becoming more informed about exactly what they put on their skin.

African Black Soap traces its history back through many generations. The primary ingredients are virgin palm kernel oil and shea butter. These natural emollients both clean and smooth the skin. The plaintain leaves and bark in black soap make it particularly good for people suffering from eczema or acne as they are a rich source of vitamins A & E.

The best thing about African Black Soap is what it does not contain. Commercial soaps contain chemicals like Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) and Parabens. SLS is a harsh detergent, powerful de-greaser and foaming agent but it has also been linked to adverse skin reactions. Parabens are chemical preservatives that are also widely used in beauty products. A small percentage of the population suffers an allergic reaction to Parabens.
